How does it takes 8hours to rollback ( Message to the devs )

Nobody here knows.

We have no idea of the infrastructure in place, the size of the db whether is distributed or otherwise, if it ties into other regions db’s, we have no idea how it all ties together, we dont know if a roll back can or is taking place, nobody outside AGS can claim to give you numbers because there is nothing to base those assumptions on.

It’ll take as long as it takes, IF it is even happening.

I personally suspect, given the time its taken so far, a bunch of tired dev’s/techies are probably trawling through a lot of logs and user accounts manually trying to fix stuff thats broken.

Thats 230 ish EU servers holding multiple world sets and god knows how many users on each assuming it even works like that. We dont know if they are virtualised or physical, how its managed (or not as the case appears to be). We have no clue.

Although I am curious to understand that, but these days, as in the old days the best security is through obfuscation and I suspect AGS would like to keep it that way.

Stop chasing numbers in a video game. Shut up and go get some fresh air. It’s holiday season.

If done DB restores at companies that have way bigger Data than New World.

It’s 40 Minutes at max. Given that their servers are not 80386s from the early '90s.

Well, if you don’t understand i overestimated you!

Sorry, my bad.

You are being baited by a toll to get you banned. I would suggest you just delete all your comments in this thread and ignore this person.

Well, calling all Irish People racist actually makes you a racist! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

On second thought, keep talking. Your upcoming removal from the forums is well deserved.

157

I will. And I will keep bringing attention to racist pos like you.

158

fixed! :wink:

159

Uh… now. Read a book. Like anything by Kevin Mcdonald who clearly sees racism.

160

That is kinda racist lol

Literally you are trying to insult this person by nationality + every other person there.

Hypocrite

Edit: Also who cares plz shut up, I just wanted to bring up that you are not better in any way (if racism triggers you that much)

A BRITISH man, who is also a PRIEST about racism.

THAT irony! :joy:

Yeah they have, there’s been a ton in the past decade that did far worse.

Fallout 76? Seriously, have you forgotten how bad that was?

Ich bin auch durch mit NW, schade es hätte so ein schönes Spiel werden können.
Ist zwar Schade nach 503 Std. Spielzeit, aber was solls. Das war auch das letzte Game was ich mir von AGS gekauft habe, bzw kaufen werde.

164

hau rein

165

Abwarten. Vielleicht bekommt AGS das noch in den Griff.

Bully for you, but you’re just guessing.

You know nothing about their hardware in use, network infrastructure or software design. yet you claim to have done restores bigger than New Worlds data, how much do they have? We dont even know if traditional backup mechanisms are being used or perhaps its just snapshots, we have no clue.

Prey tell, what environment are we talking about here? is it physical, virtual?, what networking hardware is used? what db is used does it even need to be quiesced?, is it replicated etc?, what storage medium and types are they using? How is it managed…

You cant answer one single bit of that so pulling 40 mins out of the air is scary.

Its a holiday in the United States, nobody is working.

168

You know, pulling numbers on that is something an IT Professional can do.

Or would you talk back to a car mechanic that tells you that replacing a lamp could be done within an hout while your mechanic needs 10 hours+.?!

It’s EU Servers. So no one cares about a holiday in an unimportant border country like the US. The US are not the Centre of the world. Surprising news, i know.
